Online games often:

- are how players make their living in cash tournaments

- qualify for OTB events (including wct events)

- are rated by FIDE or national organizations

- count for points in otb/online hybrid tournaments.

All of those are significantly impactful for a professional player.



That's barely true.


In other words, it's completely true. Right? Things are either true, or not. Which is it?

Come on, just have the guts to admit it.


No, lots of half truths, non substantiated.

- are how players make their living in cash tournaments

Players make their living in titled tuesday events? I guess the winner gets $1,500... so if you win every week..

- qualify for OTB events (including wct events)

Titled tuesday qualifies you for OTB events? where did you get this from? first time I'm hearing it.

- are rated by FIDE or national organizations

Titled tuesday is rated by FIDE?

- count for points in otb/online hybrid tournaments.

Titled tuesday ... again...

Hardly anything what you said is true.
